I would be willing to do that in the near future. Before 
that:
1. I know Reiner has some good string functions that are 
ready to be committed. Last I heard, he was working on a 
system to do CVS with. I don't know where he currently 
stands with this.
2. I'll probably add some more small macros to pgmspace.h 
(that was discussed here recently).

Anybody else have new stuff to add?

Agreed.

By all means. :)
